Former President Donald Trump was back peddling election fraud claims ahead of his expected announcement that he will be launching a 2024 presidential bid Tuesday night.
Taking to Truth Social after ally Kari Lake lost in the race for Arizona governor, Trump, 76, falsely claimed that the election was stolen from her.
“Wow! They just took the election away from Kari Lake. It’s really bad out there!” Trump wrote Monday night.
Lake, Trump’s staunch supporter who maintained without any evidence that the 2020 election was rigged, lost to Democrat Katie Hobbs on Monday after being projected to lose in the state.
She is the latest Trump-endorsed MAGA candidate to be rejected by voters in the midterm elections, which failed to unleash the “red wave” of GOP victories that Republicans had predicted.
